Like I said, an amalgamation of various beliefs is what many people call "Hinduism".

Even Vaishnavas are lumped in with Hindus, but Vaishnavas do not worship only demi-gods. They worship a supreme deity, even though they acknowledge the demi gods are his supreme servants.

It's like this. The Demi-Gods are the various servants of the supreme deity. One does not have to satisfy the individual demi-gods if you can satisfy the supreme deity. The demi-gods are automatically satisfied when you satisfy their master. The same way that all the leaves of a tree are nourished when you water the root of the tree. You do not have to water each individual branch or leaf.

Kind of like Zeus and the Gods of Olympus?
 Quoting: HilosPP


Sort of. Zeus is more similar to the demi-god titled Indra. Indra is the King of Heaven and the God of Thunder. His weapon is the lightning bolt.

Many people believe that the Greek God Zeus and the Vedic Demi-God Indra are the same, but described in different languages and traditions that have changed over many generations.

Hmm, so what are the odds some of the Demi-Gods are lesser incarnations of the Supreme Being waiting until it can Incarnate in its fullness? It's odd the King of Heaven isn't considered the Supreme Being isn't it?
 Quoting: HilosPP


Well the demi-gods are just like you and me, they are tiny spiritual sparks. They are not supreme all pervasive spiritual energy. You can even be elevated to become a demi-god if you so choose. The exception is Brahma, who is considered the creator of the Universe. Brahma can be an incarnation of the Supreme Being, or he can be like you and me. If one performs his religious duties for 100 lifetimes in a row, one can be elevated to the position of Brahma, the creator of the universe. So Brahma is sometimes an incarnation of the supreme being, and sometimes a small spirit soul like you and me. There is a Brahma for every universe, and there are unlimited universes that exist seperately from each other.

In the Vedas, the conception of Heaven is not the same as the conception of Heaven in Christianity and other abrahamic religions.

Heaven is a higher realm where the duration of life is very great, and you may meet many of your past relatives there if they have been elevated to heaven also. But Heaven is not the final destination. Heaven is still within the material world, albeit much more elevated and luxurious and tempting. At the end of this universe, the heavenly planets will be annihilated with the rest of the universe.

The Supreme Deity is the proprietor of everything, not just heaven. His abode is the Spiritual World which is outside of the material universes. The Spiritual World is Eternal, Full of Knowledge, and Full of Bliss. Once you obtain the Spiritual World, you never return to the material world which we currently inhabit.
